What am I passionate about?

  • GCharlotte

    I have a Passion. learned by a Queen’s message for the cause for.families . I believe I go through my Mother figure communicating with her in the hopes the Queen’s message is realized.

  • Arleen

    I have a passion for helping others. IF there is anything I can do for something, I will do it. Seeing people happy Is important to me. If I can’t make them happy, I at least want to lessen their hardship.

  • Melissa

    My aspirations. The things that inspire me.
    My life. Love. Good health. Family and friends. My wants. My ideas. My ideals.
    Being me. Following my heart.

  • Hot Sauce

    I am passionate about world religions and spirituality; philosophy; psychology; running; intercultural studies; airplanes; animal rights; social justice; UFO and alien encounters; foods from around the world; forgiveness studies; and traveling, especially internationally.

  • Don Jones

    The path of devotion. Not in the sense of being devoted to… but just a way of being and living. It is an opening that transcends beliefs, religions, politics. More of a devotion to this unfolding, being in flow, perhaps a “blooming”. Impossible to describe, but definitely a happening.

  • Ose

    This site for sure, caring for friends and family, contributing what I am able to, to unfold, to be of service, to help others to heal, God willing, more and more to meditate, cherishing stillness, and to open up to Love.

  • DeVonna

    I am passionate about creating. There’s something inside me that is not content with “being”, I must be actively involved in the creative process to be truly happy. Whether it’s cooking a meal, knitting a pair of socks, crocheting a blanket or writing a story, these are the things that give my life purpose and pleasure.

  • Antoinette

    I’m passionate about being of use and being of benefit to others. I hope I am of use.

  • Zenith

    First and foremost, Love. Make and take any and every opportunity to nurture family relationships. Then friendships. Then music because it connects us. And health empowers all that. Travel is important because it helps us tune into the rest of the world which expands our small minds.

    I'm an Aries so passion is my name! lol I am passionate about nature, autumn, Halloween, and butch lesbians for starters. Doing the right thing too - woke up this morning opened my door to get my Uber eats delivery and noticed there were two - a pizza and wings were on my bench which I had not ordered. I called the number with the order number/name so that the correct person can get a credit for their order. I felt bad having to throw that food away (was out overnight for over 12 hrs, can't ima...

I called the number with the order number/name so that the correct person can get a credit for their order. I felt bad having to throw that food away (was out overnight for over 12 hrs, can’t imagine all the bacteria on that, ewww) Felt nice taking that extra step to call and deal with it – I could have easily just tossed it.

    I almost never draw anymore. My guitars hang on the wall and collect dust, my brewing equipment adds to the clutter in the house by taking up storage space that’s probably better used for more practical implements. The bees in the backyard fly in and out of a hole in a box whether I’m there to tend to them or not. At some point (diabetes. . . cough!) the things that I was passionate about each became just chores. Passion comes and goes. Now I have to find sustained and lasting peace in my h...

    I almost never draw anymore. My guitars hang on the wall and collect dust, my brewing equipment adds to the clutter in the house by taking up storage space that’s probably better used for more practical implements. The bees in the backyard fly in and out of a hole in a box whether I’m there to tend to them or not. At some point (diabetes. . . cough!) the things that I was passionate about each became just chores. Passion comes and goes.

    Now I have to find sustained and lasting peace in my heart. There is no other option. If I can wake that in the hearts around me, so much the better. Here in the evening of my life, what am I dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and projecting in to this beautiful world that seems to be hurting so much? What can I do to ease and facilitate the painful birth of the next world to follow?

      I’ve found Eckhart Tolle invaluable in teaching how to silence the clutter of the not NOW so in silence grace can reveal our individual purpose.of our lives. We each manifest creative energy.

  • Papilio

    I’m passionate about Macro Photography. I take close-up photos of insects, flowers, or something in nature and make note cards using photos as covers. Then, I send those note cards with kind words to friends and those who I hardly know, hoping that the photos will show the beauty of God’s creation as well as they will give new vantage points.

  • Trish

    I’m passionate about connecting with women in order to strengthen our bonds & lift one another to healthy heights. Violence is rampant & comes to women in many shades & around many corners. Celebrating small victories & highlighting one another’s strengths changes lives. RBG was such a great example of using her voice. I might use my voice in a different forum but I vow to keep at it. Our world needs strong, healthy women.

  • Butterfly

    I am passionate about my spiritual development. If I can be who I truly am and not get lost in the dramas of everyday life I change the world just by who I am and living by the principles that I believe in.

  • Mark Piper

    Community and the theorizing, discussing, planning, and perhaps even building of community.

    My beautiful grandchildren.

    Music… my mother was talented and an influencer.I always loved all types of music. When I was young, I self taught myself playing the piano. When I entered high school, I was taught the euphonium. I decided in grade 10 self teach the sax. Throughout high school I also self taught the trombone and flute.

Two years ago during my retirement I decided to learn the guitar and currently learning to do so. I also returned to playing then keyboards and record music for my own entertainment and pleasure. Music has always played an important part of my life whether playing, listening or admiring others who are talented. Music affects the emotions whether a gentle calm classical piece, a cool swing or bebop, a quiet relaxing folk song or an energizing rock anthem. Music brings life to my world

    Surfing, yoga, my meditation practice, and cooking. I love to feed others and share the joy of tasty food. And as for surfing, I’m so very grateful for the swell that Sally brought over to my part of the east coast. Yesterday morning into early afternoon was a gift of clean, beautiful waves!

    I am most passionate about capturing moments in time and place with photography. Beyond that, would be rowing with my team, which since last March, unfortunately, is not possible due to the pandemic.

    (Oh gosh, look at that…below, I see just now my friend Howie’s reflection begins with rowing also!)

  • Howie Geib

    Rowing is my current passion. I am in a self imposed rest period for the last few weeks and it has been so hard as I have lost some structure to my day. But I start up again today and I am pleased to end the moratorium. I can overdo it with whatever my current passion is, work it to death. Knowing this about myself I allow a little indulgence. Luckily it is a sport where it is virtually impossible to injure yourself, as a recreational sport. Competing is something else again.

    • Kevin
      Morning, Howie, I just posted and listed rowing as one of my passions also! As for competition, you're right, it is something else again! But rowing in a 28 foot whaleboat with five other guys/gals in a competition is thrilling, actually. And while it's not supposed to be a contact sport, it actually is as you race around rocks, sandbars, and large sea lane markers, trying to beat the other guy around the "mark" because doing so shaves off time, not to mention playfully intimidating folks in the...

      Morning, Howie, I just posted and listed rowing as one of my passions also! As for competition, you’re right, it is something else again! But rowing in a 28 foot whaleboat with five other guys/gals in a competition is thrilling, actually. And while it’s not supposed to be a contact sport, it actually is as you race around rocks, sandbars, and large sea lane markers, trying to beat the other guy around the “mark” because doing so shaves off time, not to mention playfully intimidating folks in the other boat as oars from different teams are so close that they “click” one another through power strokes! That too, I miss greatly!

      So glad for you that you’re back on the water!

        Indeed…it is a great gift. And I have rowed in an eight…which is magical. I would love to row with you sometime!

          Good morning, Howie, Our club, Whaling City Rowing, located in New Bedford, MA, in compliance with the Massachusetts Covid-19 Guidelines, reopened on August 15. However, some of us who are older, including myself (I'm 70), have decided not to row until there is a vaccine. Even though we're onside on the water, when rowing James Beetle Whaleboats, with five rowers and one boat steerer, it's impossible to maintain social distancing when pulling through the stroke cycle.

          Good morning, Howie, Our club, Whaling City Rowing, located in New Bedford, MA, in compliance with the Massachusetts Covid-19 Guidelines, reopened on August 15. However, some of us who are older, including myself (I’m 70), have decided not to row until there is a vaccine. Even though we’re onside on the water, when rowing James Beetle Whaleboats, with five rowers and one boat steerer, it’s impossible to maintain social distancing when pulling through the stroke cycle. But, I steer for my team, the Gray Buzzards, and instruct new rowers and teach other club members how to steer. Where I stand and sit in the boat is fairly well distanced from the other crew members, so I may, in time, do some limited steering.

          And when that happens, Howie, you would be very welcome to row with us. We have folks from all over the world look us up and come out for one or several rows when they’re in our area. Take care.

            I am so documenting this information! Next summer! BTW I work as an UBER driver and wear my Melville Society ballcap as part of my uniform…
